SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 762,407, dated June 14, 1904.

' yApplication lecl June 29, 1903. Serial No. 163,751. (No model.)

T0 all zzz/wm, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JONAS H. HEERIFF, a citizen of the United States, residing at Erie, in the county of Neosho and State of Kansas, (whose post-oiice address is Erie, Kansas,) have invented a new and useful Stove, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improved stove adapted for burning crude oil, gas, or coalV or other fuel; and it consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement ofy devices hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved stove. Fig. 2 is a vertical central longitudinal sectional view of the same.

The body a of the stove is here shown as of vertical cylindrical form. It may in practice be of any suitable form. The top thereof has an opening P, and a cover, which forms a closure for said opening, may be placed on the top of the stove or removed therefrom at will.

At the front of the stove, at its base, is an opening provided with a door or closure E, having a damper F. Y

In the upper portion of the body of the stove is a soot-trap H, open at its upper end, which is provided with an outwardly-extending and surrounding delecting-flange a'. The lower end of the soot-trap communicates with an indirect flue and trap pipe G, which projects through an opening in the rear side of the stove, is open at its rear end, and is provided there with a removable closure L, which when removed enables the said pipe to be readily cleaned. The front portion of the pipeG, within the stove, supports the soot-trap H and is here shown as supported by a bracket-strap b. A check-damper K is in the pipe G at a point about midway between its ends. Said check-damper is VYpivotally hung at its upper side and normally hangs by its own weight in a position to obstruct the pipe G, as shown in full lines in Fig. 2. uSaid check-damper is perforated, as shown, "and may swing rearwardly, as indicated in dotted lines.

A draft-pipe M, here shown as vertical. has its lower end connected to and communicating with the projecting rear portion of thc pipe G. Said-pipe M has a direct-draft connection witlrthe upper portion of the stove, and in said direct connection is a damper J. A funnel-shaped enlargement N is at the upper cnd of the pipe M, provided with a collar S for the attachment of a stovepipe and with a dam- 5 5 per wO for the admission of cold air.

A crude-oil burner D is here shown in the base of the stove under the soot-trap H and pipe G and in connection with an oil-supply pipe B and a bowl A to receive oil which may 6o chance to be unconsumed by the burner and insure the combustion thereof. This burner, pipe, and bowl may be removed from the base of the stove, if desired, and the stove adapted for the burning of gas or a solid fuel, such as coal.

When the damper J is open, the draft is direct from the stove to the stovepipe and flue through'pthe upper portion of the pipe M.

I/Vhen said damper is closed, as shown in Fig. 7o

2, the draft is indirect downward through the soot-trap H, through the pipe Gr, past the check-damper K, and then upward through the pipe M to the stovepipe and flue. The

trap H and the inner portion of the pipe G become very highly heated when the stove is in operation and serve to arrest and cause the combustion of the soot and unconsumed products of combustion, their action being facilitated-by the check-damper K and also by the 8O damper O.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 1. A Stove having a soot-trap located and heated therein and opcn at its top, an indirect- 8 5 suming pipe leading from said tmp, and proin the presence of two Subscribing Witnesses vided with a check-damper, and n draft-pme to this speclfication.

leading from Said indirect-draft pipe and havi w ing n direct-draft connection with the stove, JONAS H' HERRN F' 5 a damper in said connection, and n damper XVinOSSGS:

for the admission of Cold air. MARK V, SNYDER,

In testimony whereoflhzwesigned mynmne CHARLES R. SNYDER.
